As the name suggests, the Instagram page ‘Chonky Posts’ is dedicated to animals who might look a little rounder than the rest. Sometimes that extra “chonky” charm simply comes from nature itself – think hippos, bears, or even bumblebees. And let’s be honest, for those of us who love animals and the natural world, these creatures are absolutely adorable, and we can never get enough of them.

The page also features plenty of domesticated pets like cats and dogs, along with other furry friends shared by the community. In some cases, their round appearance is just part of their breed or stage of life – like fluffy kittens still growing into their paws. In others, it might simply be a moment captured at the perfect (and funniest) angle.

Either way, the account has built a large following of people who can’t resist wholesome, chuckle-worthy animal content. Scroll down to see a selection of the cutest and most delightfully chonky photos we’ve picked for you today.

    This is the opposite of safe. Damaging the dog's spine will be the fist thing that the seatbelt does even after hard braking, not necessarily a car crashm

    Oh god, poor baby- I don't know much about dog seatbelts, but surely that's dangerous? And I'm hoping this is a soon-to-be Momma, given the n​ipples, but I don't know how to tell. All "chonky" pets make me sad, but seeing more lively, active breeds like this makes me extra sad.
